Hi,
I would like to know if I need disable root access after I have connected Serverpilot to my server and/or if I need to do other things to add security for root.
Thank you

Hi, disabling root SSH access won’t cause any problems for ServerPilot. The only time ServerPilot SSH’s into your server is when you initially connect your new server to ServerPilot.
Thank you! Only the last thing: I have to install Fail2ban? Or I can not install it? Server is safe also without Fail2ban?
I use strong passwords (16 characters with also % # etc), private/public key for SSH and I don’t allow authentication by password. Fail2ban only blocks hackers to try all passwords for login as root?
Thank you very much
That’s correct, fail2ban isn’t necessary if you use strong passwords.
